It's been a long time since I've wanted almost every release for a single month. June is going to be an expensive one for me.

Hey there!

We couldn't do what we do without the support of dedicated film fans like you. As a small token of our appreciation, here's a code for $10 off your next order from criterion.com. Whether you choose a new release like Roma, a timeless classic like The Lady Vanishes, or a Criterion t-shirt to jumpstart your spring wardrobe, we hope you enjoy it.

[code deleted; I'm not stupid

We know firsthand how comforting a movie night at home can be, so given the current precarious situation, we've lowered everyday store prices for all in-stock and upcoming releases to 30% off SRP through the end of April.

Happy movie watching!

The odd thing is that I've never ordered anything from them before (their Flash sales always seem to happen when I don't have any cash to spare). I am, however, both a newsletter subscriber and a Channel subscriber, so I imagine that's why they sent it to me.

I think there sending them to all newsletter subscribers as a way of saying thanks since I'm not a Channel subscriber and I got the coupon code.

Thanks, I must not be special enough to warrant a coupon, though I'm a subscriber of both. Maybe it's targeted toward people needing more incentive

Have you checked your junk mail? Many are saying it has ended up in their spam folder. And they may be sending them out in pairs and not all at once.

Yup. Checked junk and trash. Nothing.

Probably all newsletter, channel and direct purchasers. I an not a subscriber to the newsletter or channel, but have bought a number of discs from their flash sales.

I check all three of these boxes... and got squat.

hariseldon · 03-23-2020, 03:45 PM

Are these codes $10 off or are they like the prior $10 Rewards and are actually Gift Certificates that will load into your Payment. If the latter I usually just add them to my current Account so I don't have to worry about expiration date or more likely losing/deleting the code

Good choice, it's an excellent set.

I followed your reasoning (and lead) and used the $10 code to pre-order An Unmarried Woman and The Cameraman, both of which were sure things for me. Thank you.

Yep, I've seen two of the films in the set Cruel Gun Story and A Colt is My Passport and really enjoyed them and I've really wanted to get this set for a long time. With the current 30% off and the coupon this is a good time as any for me to grab the set.

Jia Zhangke confirms that he is working with Criterion on a 4K restoration for 'Platform'

DreadStare · 03-23-2020, 06:40 PM

I can't order directly so I'll give my code to whoever answers to this first. Code redeemed

CRASHLANDING · 03-23-2020, 07:24 PM

My $10 code just arrived today at 2:06pm. So if you're still waiting, don't give up hope - it seems pretty clear they are sending them out in waves...

Reddington · 03-23-2020, 07:28 PM

It's just like the good old days around here: Who got a B&N coupon during a Criterion 50% event, and who didn't.

(I subscribe to the newsletter and buy in Flash Sales but haven't received one either...

).

Curious to know as well. Would gladly save it and use it during their next 50% off sale.

UnbelievableMontages · 03-23-2020, 08:33 PM

When do these $10 coupons expire? I don't see an expiration date on my email.

I have never bought a Criterion from their site before and just made an account 15 days ago. They gave me one though.
